Quinta do Barrieiro Description

Surrounded by amazing natural scenery, just 15km from the picturesque hilltop town of Marvão, is Quinta do Barrieiro. It offers typical architecture and interiors with original artwork. Quinta do Barrieiro is located 750m above sea level in the heart of Natural Park Serra de São Mamede, Alentejo, Portugal.

What really distinguishes Quinta do Barrieiro, making it unique, is the artistic sensibility of its owners. With his architectonic expertise, José Manuel Coelho managed to skilfully explore the specificity of the region’s typical architecture and materials.
